Pimco revamps BOND ETF, changing fund s name and managers

NEW YORK (Reuters) – Pacific Investment Management Co (Pimco) is replacing the full slate of managers on its Total Return Active Exchange-Traded Fund ( BOND.P ) and changing its name, a spokeswoman for the fund management company said on Wednesday, the latest transformation for what was once the largest actively managed ETF.

The fund’s new name will be the Pimco Active Bond ETF. Managers Scott Mather, Mark Kiesel and Mihir Worah are being replaced by David Braun, Jerome Schneider and Daniel Hyman.

The ETF’s ticker, BOND, will remain, a Pimco spokeswoman said.

Once run by Pimco co-founder Bill Gross, the ETF’s assets have fallen to $2 billion from $5.2 billion at its 2013 peak.

The new managers bring “the right mix of expertise and experience in an evolving ETF investing environment where clients are seeking more income,” at a time of low rates and low returns, the spokeswoman said in an emailed statement.

The ETF will change its stated goals, including adopting new rules that allow fund managers to build more exposure to high-yield junk bonds and have more flexibility on how much interest rate risk they will take on. Investors expect U.S. interest rates to rise.

The changes are expected to take effect by May 8, pending regulatory approvals.

The Pimco Total Return Active ETF was an actively managed intermediate-term ETF intended to mimic the strategy of Pimco’s flagship mutual fund, the Pimco Total Return Fund, which was also run by Gross.

BOND first began losing assets in September 2014 after the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission said it was looking into whether Pimco inflated returns of the fund, then managed by Gross. That same month, Gross abruptly left Pimco in a messy split. He now works for Janus Capital Group Inc JNS.N

Pimco agreed in December to pay $20 million to settle charges it misled investors about the fund’s performance. The company did not admit or deny the findings, and said at the time that it has enhanced its policies.

Pimco, which managed nearly $1.47 trillion on Dec 31 and is based in Newport Beach, Calif. is a unit of German insurer Allianz SE ( ALVG.DE ).

“While BOND was a strong asset gatherer in early days, it has shed assets,” facing competition from funds managed by Fidelity Investments and DoubleLine Capital LP’s Jeffrey Gundlach, said Todd Rosenbluth, director of ETF and mutual-fund research at S Editing by Frances Kerry and David Gregorio

There are some condition times when SQL Server CPU utilization exceeds threshold value (ex 80% or more) and stay constant even till 100% for a undefined duration. A DBA do not get notified automatically about performance degrade until its reported by application team or service desk. This usually happens when all in sudden unpredicted application workload goes to SQL Server for processing; but at good number of times, its because of some T-SQL Queries are taking longer than expected or because of bad execution plan or blocking. There may be more reason to add, but ultimately high CPU utilization on production systems is going to hurt performance.

Given below is a modified script that you can convert into stored procedure and call from SQL Server agent job, scheduled for every 5 minutes or more to check CPU utilization on a critical database server. This script uses sys.dm_os_ring_buffers to identify CPU utilization from last 5 minutes and if average CPU utilization goes beyond 80% then send an alert email along with top 50 CPU consuming SQL sessions and details.
